I read someone's blog the other day. She has a small child who is a month older than my little baby. She wrote about how she packed up her maternity jeans and was back in style with her human clothes.
I was super sick a few weeks ago and I lost a ton of weight because I didn't eat. That's why I'm nearly back to my pre-pregnancy weight, so I thought I would give it a shot. You know, try on those pre-pregnancy human jeans.
Bad idea.
I did every trick in the book. I jumped up and down to squeeze into them; I laid on my back with my legs in the air just praying that gravity would pull them down. Nothing worked. In the end, my jeans were barely pulled up past my knees.
Yeah, I got a little discouraged. But then I decided to try on one of my old skirts. You see, with skirts, I don't have to try to squeeze my thunder thighs into two little tubes. I can just give them a little room in a skirt. There is just one problem with wearing my pre-pregnancy skirts: the muffin top.
Tons of women that just gave birth have muffin tops. There are some exceptions like Heidi Klum who did a bikini runway show 4 weeks after giving birth. But let's face it, all that stretched out skin is hard to get rid of overnight.
Just when I was about to go into my deepest of depressions, I was reminded of a Seinfeld episode where Elaine talks about how much she loves muffin tops. Here's the link if you want to watch it.
Everyone loves a muffin top. Now I am ready to flaunt it around! Buyin' myself a bikini and heading to the beach! Boo ya!
I know the feeling. My pre-preggo jeans still don't fit...except for one pair that I refuse to wash, because that will mean that they won't fit anymore. And my baby is now over 6 months old, so I REALLY don't have an excuse.
ReplyDeleteSigh.
I do, however, still fit into my mission skirt. Mostly because it's huge and flowy. :)
